Glenmorangie Lasanta — Gaelic for 'warmth and passion' — finishes the standard ten-year-old spirit in oloroso and PX sherry casks for an additional two years. The dual sherry treatment adds a richness and dried fruit character to the typically citrus-forward Glenmorangie house style.
The sherry finishing suits Glenmorangie's tall-still spirit well. The naturally light, citrusy distillate absorbs the sherry influence without resistance, gaining dried fruit and warmth. The oloroso contributes nuttiness and dried cherry, the PX adds raisin sweetness.
Lasanta is a reliable, well-priced sherried Highland malt from one of Scotland's most popular distilleries. The dual sherry finishing adds genuine interest, and the quality is consistent. One of the more accessible sherried expressions in the Highland category.
